Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did’nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the “biggest, baddest Truck on the road” for the everyday American. Are you guys serious?! Is the end goal really to drive a Monster Truck to McDs to get a McFlurry? Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil, bombing nations to rubble. And all, for this bullshit? The excess, waste and decadence is mind boggling to me and people on Reddit seriously justifying this by “you know dude I’m 6,4ft. I don’t fit in any other vehicle” makes me go up the wall.
How are you supposed to be aware of who is walking in front of you in that thing???
To be fair, it’s probably got (slightly) better visibility than a “normal” “full-size” truck because the hood is shorter and more sloping and it has a higher driver position. It was, after all, designed for commercial use first and only retrofitted to be an ego-mobile afterward, so (unlike with the F150) Ford wasn’t deliberately trying to make it look intimidating at the expense of pedestrian safety.
You’re not. This thing isn’t intended for most people to actually drive. They’re mostly built as towtrucks, but they may sell a very small number as vanity pieces.
They don’t sell any of the truck pictured above. It’s a custom build by a remanufacturer.
It’s okay, actual production trucks in the USA are too big to see you too.
Not a lot of walkers per square mile in the US. even if everyone was walking at once.
